In pairs of similar size, one becomes a
Faller and one the Catcher. Teach methods for spotting, falling and
catching. Start small and build to bigger falls, then swap.
Debrief - what made you feel more or less trusting?

A dramatic trust activity for a large group.
Group forms a gauntlet, arms out in front. As a person walks down
the gauntlet, people raise their arms. Build up to people down
running the gauntlet through a sea of chopping arms!

In a forested area, pairs take turns being blindfolded, lead to a tree
(for touch and feel) and then lead away. After removing the
blindfold, the tree hugger tries to locate his/her tree.

Eye Contact

Illustrate the importance of eye contact by having people in pairs stand
facing each other and staring into each other's eyes for ~60 secs.
Remove sunglasses.

Eye Contact with Touch

Illustrate the importance of both eye contact and physical touch by having
people in pairs stand facing each other, holding hands, and staring into
each other's eyes for ~60 secs.

Proximity

Illustrate the importance of physical proximity by having people in pairs
stand facing each a comfortable distance apart. Then ask people to
move a little closer and feel what its like. Then ask people to
increase the distance apart and notice how it changes one's feelings.

Trust Fall

Involves a person falling
backwards from table height into the arms and hands of the group.
Each group member can opt to take a turn as faller. Although commonly used,
some believe it should be avoided due to the risk of physical and
psychological injury.
